Quartz Crystals

Clear quartz
promotes harmony and balance, and can also amplify energy and focus
thought processes. It is a powerful crystal for purification,
and is often used to cleanse other crystals. Historically, it
has been used to counter black magic because of its strong protective
qualities. Quartz is reputed to activate the pineal and
pituitary glands, and to perform diagnostic healing. It is
associated with the Crown chakra, but works well on all chakras.

These
beautiful Quartz Crystals formed naturally inside a hollow
Brazilian Agate geode, which has been shaped into a sphere and
polished. (Includes clear plastic ring stand.) See

How Do Crystals Form?

Crystals
are orderly arrangements of pure substances that form as their
atoms move closer together. Diamonds, for example, are
pure carbon, while quartz is pure silicon dioxide. The
smooth faces of crystals are caused by the regular internal arrangement of
atoms.

Most
crystals form from lava or magma as the molten rock cools.
The slower the cooling, the larger the crystals grow.
Temperature and pressure are major factors in determining the
rate of cooling.

Other
crystals are deposited from an aqueous solution as water
evaporates, like salt or limestone crystals.

Once
your crystal has been cleansed, you can also program it for
specific purposes. Hold the crystal in your hand.
Close your eyes. Visualize the purpose you wish to program
your crystal for. Focus, breathing deeply, until the
visualization is complete and all-encompassing. Then
softly say, "I dedicate this crystal to (whatever you wish
its purpose to be)."

When
using your crystal, the most important rule is to be guided by
your intuition, and not by what someone else says is right or
wrong. It is your personal crystal, attuned to your unique
strengths, desires, and energy. No one knows your crystal
better than you do.
